The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica - A-
Reflection
Today we celebrate the feast of The Dedication of
the Lateran Basilica, which is the mother Church
of all Christendom. This feast helps us to better
understand the value of church, community and
our own selves as members of the Body of Christ.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus cleanses the Temple
(His Father’s House) by driving out the money
changers. He then refers to His body as the true
Temple that He would raise up. How do you show
zeal for your church, your family of faith?
C.W.S. “Christmas Breakfast”
The Catholic Women’s Society is busy organizing
rd
St. David’s 3 Annual Christmas Breakfast and

kitchen serving a hot, delicious breakfast
(pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and home
fries) where you and your family will be able to
take a free picture with St. Nick. New to this event
is a Bazaar with 15 vendors offering a variety of
goods for sale so that you can complete your
Christmas shopping. Tickets will be available for
sale this weekend after each Mass for $10 per
person. Be sure to purchase tickets soon since
there is a limited seating capacity.
Pray for our Pilgrims
Fr. Ernie leaves this Monday for the Holy Land

Shepherd’s Trust

needs of our retired priests and offered their help
to establish the Trust as a reflection of the
gratitude and appreciation of the parishioners they
served. Through your support of the Shepherd’s
Trust, our retired priests are given the dignity of
adequate pensions, health care and other

BENVENUTI A ST. DAVID’S
Dedicazione della Basilica Lateranense
La morte di Gesù, condannato per un’affermazione sul tempio che il sinedrio giudica
blasfema, provoca la lacerazione del velo del santuario. Il corpo glorificato del risorto, la
chiesa che si sta costruendo, il credente in cui dimora lo Spirito: è questo, ormai, il vero
santuario.
Società di Donne Cattoliche
Domenica, 30 novembre, si terrà la vendita annuale di articoli natalizi e “stelle di natale”
nella sala parrocchiale. Ci sarà anche una bella colazione organizzata dalle donne della
parrocchia. I biglietti sono già in vendita per $10.00, dopo le Messe domenicali all’entrata
della chiesa. Potrete anche fare una foto con San Nicola. Non mancate!!!
Shepherd’s Trust
L’annuale colletta per il fondo di pensione per i sacerdoti si terrà domenica, 16 novembre.
Questi fondi assistono i nostri sacerdoti anziani e ammalati che hanno servito la Chiesa
con fedeltà e amore a vivere con dignità e serenità i loro ultimi anni. Troverete buste di
offerte speciale al fondo della cheisa. Grazie per la vostra generosità.
Pregate per i Nostri Pellegrini
Don Ernesto partirà domani per la Terra Santa, accompagnato da un grande gruppo di
parrocchiani. Pregheranno per tutte le vostre intenzioni nei luoghi dove Gesù ha guarito
tanti infermi e operato tanti miracoli. Preghate affinché il Signore li accompagni nel loro
cammino di fede.
Baby Bottles for Life

novembre. Diamo il nostro appoggio ad “Aid to Women” e difendiamo il diritto alla vita.
